From Newspaper Agent's Son To Ias, Lalit
Jain Bags 41St Rank

Delhi, Lalit Jain, 27 secured 41st position in
the recently declared UPSC examination. He is
the only son of news paper merchant, Shashi Pal
Jain, from Kharar. Jain had failed in his first
three attempts and was also rejected at the
interview by the Haryana Public Service
Commission for the Haryana Civil Service. A
practising lawyer at Punjab and Haryana High
Court, Jain is a law graduate from Panjab
University. A nephew of former Chandigarh MP
Satya Pal Jain, Lalit is the first to directly
become an IAS officer from Kharar. Right since
the news of his making the giant leap from a
newspaper agent’s son to an Indian
Administrative Service officer, Jain’s home town
Kharar, 15 km from Chandigarh, is taking pride.
His house in NRI Enclave was swarmed with
relatives, friends and neighbours, as
newspersons jostled for a glimpse of the
simple-looking tall youth.
